Harry Potter goes to live with his Godfather!

By Laura Tirrell

"Case dismissed!" BAM! The gavel hit the desk of the minister of magic's court judge. Sirius Black had his mouth wide open staring at the judge. He was free! He was finally free! Peter Pettigrew handed himself in to the ministry of magic, no one knew why, but he did, which meant that Sirius was free! Sirius just sat there still until someone tapped his shoulder. "Come on, get up Sirius." It was Remus Lupin, his best friend from Hogwarts. After Voldemort had been brought back Sirius got reacquainted with his old pal. Voldemort was now somewhere un-known even though Peter had told them everything that happened since the night he escaped almost 2 yrs ago.

"Well old pal, what are you going to do now that you're free?" Remus asked as the two walked out of the courtroom into the bright light.

"I'm not sure Moony... before Voldemort's rein of power took hold, I could be seen having fun with you and James but..." Sirius broke off breathing fast. He missed his old friend James a lot and he knew that James would have wanted the best for his son: Harry Potter.

Harry was doing some summer school work in his small room of number 4 Privet drive. Thankfully he was allowed his spell books, or Snape would have given him at least a month of detention, McGonagall would do something that would take forever... and he wasn't sure wut the other teachers would do but something bad no doubt... Harry sighed as he got though his horrible potions work, as he wanted to do that first to finish...but something interrupted him...a loud... something! He looked out his window and saw a large motorcycle driving down the street and stopping... IN HIS DRIVE WAY! Harry watched, utterly bewildered as the man got off the motorcycle, and took off his helmet to reveal almost elbow length hair...his GODFATHER! SIRIUS BLACK!

Harry stood at his window transfixed at him...his godfather was supposed to be on the run! Ever since Peter Pettigrew, Sirius's old friend had betrayed Sirius leaving everyone to believe Sirius betrayed his own mother and father. Sirius noticed Harry watching him and waved. Harry stood unblinkingly at him but was brought back to earth, as his godfather called to him, "Don't just stand there answer the door before--" He was cut short as the door HAD just been opened!

Sirius got a good look at Harry's supposed uncle... a large beefy man with little neck and a lot of mustache and purple faced who had suddenly gone white at the sight of Black. Sirius frowned. Surely his outfit wasn't bad because he was dressed as a muggle...wondering if he had not done a good job, Sirius tried examing himself. Sirius however didn't know that Uncle Vernon was only staring at him like that since he thought Sirius to be a murderer, but he was freed, although Uncle Vernon wouldn't know that. Sirius was dressed very well for a muggle, as a matter of fact... a rock muggle. He was wearing a leather jacket, a white undershirt, and a cool belt that held up his tight dark blue jeans. Sunglasses were perched on his head, as of taking them off his eyes to get a better look at Mr. Dursley, who was still at the door rigid with shock.

"P-P-Petunia!" he finally screeched pointing at Black as Mrs. Dursley came round the door. She gave a small scream and appeared to faint but Mr. Dursley caught her. Sirius shrugged and walked forward, his hand outstretched. "You must be Harry's aunt and uncle, I'm his godfather, Sirius." Mr. Dursley backed away and shut the door in his face.

Sirius frowned "Excuse me!" he called, "The door appears to have blown shut!" The door didn't open and just as Sirius was about to open it he heard a bellowing inside, "BOY!!! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF ASKING THAT MENACE TO COME OVER HERE?! THOUGHT YOU'D INVITE HIM FOR TEA DID YOU?!" Thoroughly alarmed, Sirius opened the door, which was unlocked, and dashed in. Mr. Dursley had Harry in a corner while Mrs. Dursley was watching them from a chair with tea in her shaking hands, and as for the cousin Harry had mentioned was nowhere in sight, which was odd since he usually wasn't hard to miss.

"Excuse me..." Sirius said. Mr. Dursley went pale again backing away from Harry and Sirius while Mrs. Dursley edged her seat away. Harry, however, ran over to Sirius almost whipping him off his feet with a giant hug. "Sirius! What are you doing here?!" His face was in a huge grin and Sirius wanted to do so but instead said with a frown, "Haven't you heard? I was cleared just yesterday. Pettigrew turned himself in, don't you read the news?"

Harry stared at him soundlessly a few moments and found his voice, "I don't get the daily prophet... are you really free?!" Sirius nodded but almost regretted it perhaps since Harry hugged him harder. Something was different about him, perhaps since the fact last summer, Harry had mentioned his cousins tongue grew over 2 feet long in a prank that they let Harry eat everything first because he wasn't as skinny as Sirius remembered seeing him not too long ago after the terrible rebirth of Voldemort. Harry was now almost as tall as Sirius and instead of scrawny, Harry appeared to have been eating properly since he was fitting more nicely in his clothes, he was ...Sirius couldn't think of another word...fit! Not muscular but...fit.

Getting over the shock of Harry's amazing appearance for only a few months, (June-August) Sirius cleared his throat looking directly at Mr. Dursley. "I've come to take Harry with me as I am his legal guardian. Now Harry, " he turned away from the stunned looking Mr. Dursley to the surprised Harry, "You will take all your school stuff, and clothes and whatever personal things you have, leave the furniture, we're going shopping." He grinned. Harry grinned back. He had never been so happy! He was finally leaving the Dursleys! "Harry do you need any help?" Sirius asked to Harry's fast retreating back. "Not really, watch some TV while I'm packing."

Sirius stared after him... TV? What on earth was that? "Um... what's TV?" he asked curiously to the Dursleys. "TV is great, there are loads and loads of channels filled with...-" it was Dudley, apparently he didn't know Sirius asked this as he stopped short at the sight of him and ran screaming out of the house. Mr. Dursley pointed to a room. Sirius walked in and looked around... click. Sirius turned in time to see Mr. Dursley pointing a strange object at a box. Sirius stared at the box in amazement as faces appeared on it accompanied by sound.

"WOW! THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THERE!" He walked very close to the TV and said, "Hello! My name is Sirius and who are you?" Mr. Dursley slowly backed out of the room clearly thinking that this man was out of his mind. Sirius got annoyed when the people didn't answer but didn't have much else to do as Harry re appeared looking a bit breathless. "All packed! I just need help carrying it downstairs."

"Ok, but you better teach those people in that box your aunt and uncle caught because they have no manners." said Sirius gesturing at the TV. Harry stared at Sirius, he had no idea Sirius had never seen TV, obviously he couldn't at Azkaban, the wizarding jail but he thought Sirius at least watched it as a child too. "Uh Sirius, they aren't captured..." Harry got into a long explanation about electronic equipment muggles had and how they worked while going up and down the staircase a few times and on their way to Sirius's.

"Fascinating!" Sirius kept saying while Harry told him all about it and some other muggle things. "I really think you should have taken muggle studies," said a grinning Harry to Sirius as they walked into a muggle furniture shop. Sirius shrugged and grinned back.

"Not to worry, you know quite a bit and if I have any problems, I'll ask you, alright?" said Sirius kindly. Harry shrugged. Sirius would look strange in a muggle store if he kept asking what everything did.

"Sirius, don't ask about anything I buy until we get to our place okay?" Harry asked anxiously as they walked into the store.

"Whatever you say Harry." Sirius said cheerfully, waving at several people who glanced at him in a frightened way. Sirius started wondering how many people had seen him on TV as an escaped convict. He looked different... well a little. He had started working out and eating more so he wasn't as skinny as before and he kept his hair long and neater.

While Sirius was pondering over things Harry directed him around the store a few hours until they had everything Harry thought a household should need. Kitchen supplies, some bathroom supplies, a couch, a TV which a dvd player that also had a vcr in it, some lights and various odds and ends, and bedroom supplies.

"Um Sirius, are you going to be able to afford all of this?" Harry asked worriedly counting the many items in their baskets.

"Sure thing, the ministry gave me a bunch of muggle and wizard money for pardon since I was an innocent person staying in Azkaban for 12 years!" Sirius responded with his bark-like laugh. Several people looked at him and went the other way. Sirius grumbled.

"So... like they gave you money for saying that they're sorry and if you'd had a job that long?" Harry asked slowly.

Sirius nodded. "You got that right Harry, I wanted to be an auror and I tell you they make a heck of a lot of money."

Harry grinned, he himself wanted to be an auror. As soon as they had paid for everything, Sirius had been right, they could afford it all and still had plenty left, they started out on the road again. Harry didn't have the slightest idea of where they'd be living and apparently Sirius didn't either.

"I was thinking of going on a bit of sight seeing in the America's and looking around there and Moony offered we can stay at his place a while." was Sirius' reply.

Once they reached Lupin's they unloaded all of their things and put them in the house.

"You know Siri you can always stay here...for a long time." Remus said softly so that Harry wouldn't hear. Sirius had been secretly involved with Remus and didn't know how to tell Harry yet, after all his and Remus' families hadn't taken it well at all and he didn't want to push it.

"Don't worry Remmie, we'll be back soon." Once everything was picked he and Harry drove off into the sunset.
